Derrick’s “Spelling Bee” suggests cell D3 should be dominant.

For models already made, ongoing costs are like playing a video game.

The cost of training new models has been distorted from the beginning, because scale prevents competition. DeepSeek proved LLMs could be at least two orders of magnitude cheaper… and the Americans pretended not to notice, because the charade is more important to the bubble. If it popped tomorrow there’d still be institutions and hobbyists innovating in ways that prove being large was never required.

This is a whole new kind of software. We shouldn’t obsess over what VC dipshits are prepared to spend as if that’s the only sane budget to achieve these results.

RLM should recognize how much weird shit this tech allows. It’s CGI for dummies and it can look any kind of way. If someone types in “Batman fights Predator,” sure, fuck that, because they didn’t even contribute a clever idea. But diffusion removes all the pixels that don’t look like Batman. The same tech lets two people in dollar-store costumes fight in someone’s backyard, then make it look like a rainy night on the streets of Gotham.

Or they could act out five characters each for an interwar period drama.

Or they could adapt Ringworld with its goofy nonhuman characters.

Or they could recreate lost episodes of Doctor Who.

All for approximately zero dollars, with nobody’s permission. These guys can scoff ‘you could already make anything!’ but they mean anything that looks like Gorilla Interrupted. This tech can half-ass Marvel or Pixar quality without even trying. The tools produce decent lighting and animation the way a pencil produces stick figures.

This will of course eat Hollywood alive. Disney can sue all they like; local models are in people’s hands. Any fanfiction can now look damn close to the real thing. Original works can star anyone - or no one. That one schmuck’s “digital actress” OC is just another cartoon. If anyone can put a generic hot lady on camera, in any scenario they imagine, who the fuck is choosing to have her endorse soap?

Screaming the quiet part at the top of their lungs.

therefore the 2 must be Distributed

Like how the 5 in the first image isn’t?

Charlie Kirk’s dying words were lying about minorities.

… why the fuck would proving Valve’s superdupermajority market share hinge on WON?

Oven bags.

You incompetent fraud, that’s a different person - me. It’s easy to lose track when literally everyone is calling out your bullshit.

Here’s you quoting a textbook that says to solve inside the brackets first, even without a mulitply sign.

Here’s you quoting a textbook that says you must do the opposite of that.

And as a bonus, here’s you getting 2(3+5)² wrong.

I am looking for how to politely contact your instance’s admins about your behavior.

You can hear the sustain!

Calls me a liar, then says exactly what I said they think. Troll.

Fuck off.

It is important to also reject the excuse.

I’m not wasting any time bickering about whether this achieves its stated goals because fuck its stated goals.

Pressure toward taking swap seriously, now that it can be random-access.

The only thing that needs to be in memory is state.

It must be cold if you’re seeing a blue tit.

… I apologize for that.

… on the front?

It should be like a volume dial sticking out the side. This is objectively bad design.

Confused, full of cheese, unsure of the day of the week

“Leave.”

Coming Spring 2034.

Iteration is innovation.

Even combining existing ideas can explore and refine a genre.
